Playback
In normal live operation, the upstream Ethersound channels to the
console (shown in red) are fed from the DioCore (Mic inputs 1 to
56) – i.e. the Loop Back (in black) is active.
By enabling VSC mode (Virtual Sound Check), the DioCore mic
inputs, are replaced by the corresponding M.A.R.S. tracks. This
allows you to instantly switch between live mic inputs from the
stage and M.A.R.S playback at the touch of a button.
Alternatively, using BDWY mode (Broadway), individual channels
can be switched between the live mic and replay track using the
console’s CUE buttons. This is great if, for example, the drummer
is late for the rehearsal and you have him pre-recorded!
Note that when your Ethersound network consists of more than
one Eclipse, you can connect the Ethersound network in different
ways. See Page 263 for more details.
Patching
Mic preamps should be patched downstream onto Ethersound
channels 1 to 57 (use the PATCH INPUT display – DIO1 and Core
1 tabs, see Page 268).
Ethersound channels should be patched upstream to the console’s
Faders or Smart Panel controllers (use the PATCH INPUT display
– DIO1 and PATCH tabs, see Page 235).
Mix busses from the console can be patched downstream so that
they will reach the DioCore or M.A.R.S (use the PATCH OUTPUT
display – DIO1 and PATCH tabs, see Page 249).
Note that downstream channels 1 to 56 are replaced by mic
preamps from the DioCore. So, if you wish to record a mix bus on
M.A.R.S., patch downstream to channels 57 to 64.
